HIX introduces the HOSS, a revolutionary new High Output Super Shuttle heat transfer machine.
On a 6 second transfer time, it can produce up to 720 finished shirts per hour* with two people operating.
The HOSS is fully automatic, all the operator(s) need to do is load the shirt/transfer on the pallet to the right, it cycles automatically.
Then load a shirt/transfer on the left pallet, it cycles automatically and the right pallet returns. Peel the transfer.
Repeat the process again. Now you can get the kind of production that will make you some real money!

The CA1000 Carousel Heat Transfer Press with 4 or 6 independently controlled pressing stations. Standard platen size is 16"x20" making this an ideal machine for t-shirts, however other platen sizes are available. Operation by foot pedal or automatic mode with programmable index time. The CA1000 is CE certified and will meet or exceed worldwide safety and efficiency standards.
The CA1000 Carousel features six of the AIT 1350PM heat press heads with the added feature of the bottom plate extending out of the machine for loading and unloading. Each of these heat presses feature the unique Mica Matte heating system for the exacting demands of heat control required by dye-sub printing.
The control system is extremely flexible. In the automatic mode the rotation speed can be set from 2 seconds to 60 seconds, and the machine will operate continuously until an E-stop is hit at the loading station. In the manual mode, the rotation is actuated by the operator with a foot pedal. The direct drive system utilizes a large AC inverter motor with a gearbox. There are no chains or sprockets.
Time, temperature and pressure is set individually on each of the six press heads. The standard carousel has interchangeable 16"x20" heated heads and bottom platens. Special size plates are available for both top and bottom plates. For example, small shirt sizes are best accommodated with an 12"x16" bottom plate. The top and bottom plates can be removed and replaced in less than 5 minutes with our "quick change" system.
Actual customer reported production is 8,000 T-shirts per day using 3 operators, a dwell time of 15 seconds and a rotation speed of 3 seconds.
The AIT 1112 is a semi-automatic Heat Press with an unique electromagnetically assisted closing and pressure system to help relieve operator fatigue. The operator pulls the handle to within about six inches of the bottom platen where the electromagnet engages the top platen and pulls it closed. Once the timer reaches 0.0, the electromagnet releases and the top platen automatically opens.
A heated platen size of 20”x44” makes this an ideal machine for sublimation printing of small format flags,banners, etc. Features include a floating head design for even contact between the heated platen and the substrate, and optional double heating is available. No compressed air is required, and the 1112 can be wired for single or three-phase connection.
The AIT 1112 is CE certified to meet or exceed worldwide safety and efficiency standards.

The Geo Knight AIR is the next step up from the Manual version. This automatic press is provides massive amounts of pressure due to its dual air-bag, 10-ton/20,000 lbs max force pneumatic pressing system. The heavy steel triple reinforced welded C-Frame design is built to withstand a lifetime of intense pressing and automatic operation, and allows for full draping of materials over the front, left and right sides of the press, without hindrance. The electronic digital temperature control maintains even heat across the entire surface of the heater, and the timer automatically starts when the press is activated and automatically releases the press when elapsed. For a large format heavy pressure automatic press that is one step below the larger industrial 931 Triton machines, the AIR is the solution.
